The American Democratic Union was the first-ever nation founded explicitly of the principles of Communalism, a form of proto-Communism proposed by Benjamin Franklin. The ADU was the first member of the League of Nations to recognise the Soviet government, and provided substantial material support to the Bolshevik troops during the Revolution.
These rare propaganda posters are from General Secretary Lenin's first visit to the ADU, and President Debs' return visit to the USSR.
